Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Apple HIG: System Experiences Check for `.claude/apple-design-context.md` before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered. ## Key Principles ### General 1. **Glanceable, immediate value.** System experiences bring your app's most important content to surfaces the user sees without launching your app. Design for seconds of attention. 2. **Respect platform context.** A Lock Screen widget has different constraints than a Home Screen widget. A complication is far smaller than a top shelf item. ### Widgets 3. **Show relevant information, not everything.** Display the most useful subset, updated appropriately. 4. **Support multiple sizes with distinct layouts.** Each size should be a thoughtful design, not a scaled version of another. 5. **Deep-link on tap.** Take users to the relevant content, not the app's root screen. ### Live Activities 6. **Track events with a clear start and end.** Deliveries, scores, timers, rides. Design for both Dynamic Island and Lock Screen. 7. **Stay updated and timely.** Stale data undermines trust. End promptly when the event concludes. ### Notifications 8. **Respect user attention.** Only send notifications

What does the hig-components-system skill do?
Apple HIG guidance for system experience components: widgets, live activities, notifications, complications, home screen quick actions, top shelf, watch faces, app clips, and app shortcuts.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill hig-components-system --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
